HAMMING IT UP: The Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society's (GARS) Amateur Radio Field Day will be June 26-27 at Sweetwater Park, 800 Bethesda School Road, Lawrenceville. Amateur Radio operators (Hams) all over the United States and Canada will be participating in an annual test of communications skills in less than perfect conditions. Set-up begins Saturday at 8 a.m. and operations begin at 2 p.m. and will last for 24 hours. Typically over 100 radio operators or support personnel are on hand during a GARS exercise to operate eight amateur radio stations and attempt to make contact with as many other stations as possible. Most years GARS makes connections to all 50 states and many Canadian provinces. GARS uses its own power source, since amateur radio stations are independent of infrastructure. That's why hams use the slogan "When all else fails, amateur radio." Dozier Griffith of Stone Mountain and Earl Whatley of Lawrenceville use Morse code to communication during a previous Field Day.

EEB PERSPECTIVE
Endorsements for congressional, county commission seats
By ELLIOTT BRACK
Editor and publisher

JUNE 25, 2010 -- Today we give our views on four political races, for two Congressional district positions, and for two seats on the Gwinnett County Commission. In the next edition, we'll conclude the endorsements with comments on statewide offices.

Brack

First, the Congressional offices.

Seventh District: The majority of Gwinnett is within the Seventh Congressional District, where eight Republicans are seeking the nomination to run against Democrat Doug Heckman in November.

One thing we can say about the Republicans for this office: there's not a whole lot of difference in their views. By reading what they say, we can summarize that all of them generally have these views.

• Strong conservatives.
  
• For the Fair Tax.
  
• Convinced government spending is out of control.
  
• Worried about immigration.
  
• Want to reduce the size of government.
  
• Convinced restoring jobs and uplifting the economy are key.
  
• Want to "reduce the tax burden."
  
• Against Federal healthcare.
  
• Pro life.
  
• Want to abolish the Department of Education.
  
• YaddaYaddaYadda.

If most Gwinnettians believe in these principles, it won't matter much which of these eight candidates is nominated.

Fincher

However, we won't shy away and merely endorse them all. Our pick of the Republicans to become the nominee for the Seventh District seat is Jef Fincher of Duluth. We say this since he has the fewest "negatives," in our way of thinking. He also says that he is for term limits, which professional officeholders don't bring up. He does not, however, spell out how long the term should be, but feels that is the direction to go. Many will applaud this view and enjoy seeing him be the nominee for the General Election.

We've known Jef Fincher for years, and feel most comfortable that he can do a yeoman's job to represent the people of the Seventh District. He is a political newcomer, which is good in the views of many, having no ties to previous administrations. He's a hard worker, has strong beliefs and will stick by his views. We endorse Jef Fincher to become the GOP nominee of the Seventh District to Congress.

* * * * *

The races to pick a person to represent the Fourth Congressional District in Washington will probably turn out to be a Democrat, since the district has voted heavily that way in the past. Altogether, there are four Republicans and three Democrats seeking the post, which is currently held by Hank Johnson. The district includes a small portion of Gwinnett, from the center of Norcross and paralleling the county line past U.S. Highway 29. No Gwinnettians are running for this seat in Congress.

4th District Republican primary: Views of the four candidates in this race are not as similar as are those seeking the Seventh District post. However, all call themselves conservatives, pro-life, etc.

Ruth

While no person holding previous key elected office is seeking this post, it appears to us that the best candidate in this race is Cory Ruth, 32, of East Atlanta. He is a lifelong Republican, and management consultant who brings scholarly, "big picture" thinking to this campaign.

Ruth feels that our nation is in crisis, not only in government and the economy, but in family structures. He plans to bring his fresh ideas to office to serve the district in a more representative way. Among his proposals is bolstering peer-to-peer micro lending as a way to help the nation out of its economic morass. A single father, he has a son, 9.

We commend the candidacy of Cory Ruth to the Republicans of the Fourth Congressional District.

4th District Democratic Primary: There are three candidates in this race, including the incumbent, Hank Johnson. He has served two terms in the House of Representatives. While we think that with the seniority system you should generally support working within the system, and re-elect good Congressmen, we have serious doubts about Rep. Johnson's health and his continued ability to serve effectively.

Stokes

Therefore, in this race we support the candidacy of Connie Stokes, 56, to become Georgia's the Democratic nominee for the Fourth District post. She is a vivacious candidate, full of pep and enthusiasm. You can see why when early in her legislative role in the Georgia Senate, Gov. Roy Barnes selected her to be the first woman to be an assistant floor leader in his administration. After 10 years in the Senate, she has now been a DeKalb county commissioner for six years.

Ms. Stokes, a real estate broker from Lithonia, sees a lot that needs to be changed in Washington, and with her energy and enthusiasm, we know she will work diligently for these changes for the people of her district. She promises to help small business with innovation and use of the private sector to help turn the economy around. She is married to a retired dentist and is the mother of three adult children and two grandchildren. We enthusiastically endorse her candidacy for Congress.

* * * * *

Two important Gwinnett County Commission seats are open this year, with no incumbent running for office. There are five candidates seeking the District 4 post (mostly from Lawrenceville northward), while three candidates seek the District 2 office (from Peachtree Corners along the DeKalb border to Lilburn.) All eight candidates are Republicans, with no Democrat running for the office, so the primary winner will take office in January.

• See a map of Gwinnett's county commission districts

District 2: There are three candidates, all eminently qualified, running for this commission seat. They are Lynette Howard,45; Jose Perez, 63; and Keith Shewbert, 51.

Howard

Our pick to serve as the next commissioner is Lynette Howard, a former six year president of the United Peachtree Corners Civic Association, guiding some 4,000 members from 33 associations . Her work in supporting and providing leadership in her community is exemplary. She has also served for four years on the Gwinnett Planning Commission.

What we appreciate is the way she approaches matters, in an analytical manner from her training as a research chemist. She also brings to the table sharp listening and conflict resolution skills. We believe Lynette Howard can be the type of commissioner that can help restore the trust in office that the commission has, especially in the last few years, so sorely needed. A mother, she and her husband have two children.

Hunter

District 4: Of the five candidates in this race, we are pleased to see a refreshing approach by a newcomer to politics, our choice for the post, Tommy Hunter, 39, of Buford. His youth and enthusiasm, plus his approach as a civil engineer, will bring new life to this office.

Hunter is a graduate of Southern Tech, worked for eight years as a senior construction manager in the Department of Public Utilities, and is now a project manager for a private engineering firm. He has also served for five years on the Gwinnett Water and Sewerage Authority. He seems to be a person who can make priorities happen, and seems to understand the complicated process of government in a sprawling county like Gwinnett. He sees the control of the spending and management of the county resources as the biggest issues in the race.

Gwinnett residents will do well to put Tommy Hunter's experience to work for them. His independence, his straight-forward approach to matters, his openness and his sharpness will help the county commission regain the confidence it has lost in the last few years. It's wonderful when a fresh, exciting face hits the political scene. We feel Gwinnett will be well served with Tommy Hunter's efforts at guiding the county forward.

Gas gimmick

FEEDBACK
Doesn't need county's garbage service, but has no recourse

Editor, the Forum:

The following letter was sent to the Gwinnett County commissioners:

Regarding the new countywide garbage and recycling program; I do not require this service and do not wish to be billed for services not rendered.

I live alone and generate negligible garbage. Once every two weeks I bring a small bag of garbage to my office, where I pay for a garbage service to haul off our company's garbage. I also use a recycling bin for that waste. I need no additional garbage service.

I've attempted to have this service cancelled by contacting the Solid Waste and Recycling Division as well as Waste Pro of Georgia, Inc. but have basically been told "tough" by all. I resent having a receptacle sent to my property without my direct request and permission. It still sits on the street where it was initially deposited several weeks ago even though I've demanded that Waste Pro remove it. Further I resent having this service billed to me even though I will NEVER use this so-called service.

I clearly understand getting billed for water and sewer use and I even understand and agree to the stormwater tax. But the county does not require that I have water service as it is still a "choice," nor does the county require that I have gas, electric or phone service and bill me for these services whether I use them or not.

What happened to the choice of whether we wanted this service? What's next? Mandatory cable television and force us to watch the community access channel? Perhaps you'll vote in favor of forced professional lawn service as well and the county will bill me monthly on behalf of a private business service provider that you choose after signing me up against my will? Will you really lien properties if these unfair taxes are not paid?

I do appreciate so much that you fine folks do for the citizens of Gwinnett and wish to thank you so much for the wonderful parks and recreation facilities that we pay taxes to maintain. Also I appreciate the great roads and fantastic water and sewer service. Gwinnett is indeed Great and you are all to thank. But...this mandatory solid waste service is a mistake that much be corrected/rectified. Please change your policy to allow choice and/or an opt out. Oh yeah, please don't implement mandatory water service or take my idea regarding mandatory lawn care to the bank!

Thanks so much for reading and thinking a bit about my "rant." I truly believe this issue deserves your further consideration.

-- Daryl R. Cook, unincorporated Norcross

Dear Mr. Cook: I hear your pain. What the county needs, perhaps, is some sort of appeal to this ordinance, with limitations on who could make appeals when people are in unique circumstances such as yourself. It appears that the commission was seeking to keep Gwinnett cleaner by finding a way for the 20,000 homes where deadbeats live who had no garbage service, to halt trashing the rest of the county. --eeb

UPCOMING
Chesser-Williams House gets grant to move to EHC Center

The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center (EHC) Foundation was awarded a $10,000 grant by the National Trust for Historic Preservation from its Cynthia Woods Mitchell Fund for Historic Interiors. The seed grant funds will be used to assist in preserving the rare, historic folk art paintings found in the Chesser-Williams House.

The Chesser-Williams House is one of the oldest, surviving homes in Gwinnett County. The home was built in the mid 1800's and still sits on its original foundation stones. The home was deeded to the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center Foundation in 2008. It will be re-located to the EHC campus. Once restored, the Chesser-Williams House will be utilized as a teaching tool to showcase life in early Gwinnett.

The most significant feature of the home is the hand painted folk art found on the exterior and interior. The artwork was painted in the late 1800's and is attributed to an itinerant, German artist who was known to paint in exchange for room and board as he traveled from North Carolina to Texas.

In 1997, a gift from George P. Mitchell of Texas, chairman and chief executive of Mitchell Energy and Development, an oil and natural gas producer, established the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Fund for Historic Interiors in honor of his wife. The fund provides assistance in the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of historic interiors. Grants must be matched at least dollar for dollar with public or private funds.

Norcross firm opening office in Buckhead

Sanders Financial Management (SFM) is opening a second satellite office in Buckhead, complementing the firm's headquarters, which will remain in Norcross. The new office is located in The Pinnacle Building at 3455 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 720, Atlanta, (at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads, across from Phipps Plaza).

Emily Sanders, founder, president and CEO of Sanders, says: "This second office is a direct response to feedback from our clients, as over the past few years our city, and traffic volume, has grown immensely." All of the firm's contact information will remain the same, including the phone number and primary mailing address in Norcross.

NOTABLE
Gwinnett Tech continues to lead Georgia in annual graduates

More than 1,350 students were graduated from Gwinnett at the college's June commencement ceremony. Altogether this year, Gwinnett Tech graduated 2,541 students, the most in the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). GTC also awarded the highest number of associate degrees in the TCSG with 456. The 2010 graduation ceremony was held at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth.

This marks the third consecutive year that Gwinnett Tech has conferred the state's largest number of graduate awards, reflecting both the college's strong growth trend and the commitment to student retention and success championed by college administrators and instructors. GTC has recorded double-digit enrollment growth for 13 consecutive quarters, with enrollment for Spring Quarter 2010 up more than 20 percent as compared to the prior year.

Augusta Technical College President Terry Elam gave the keynote speech at commencement while Gwinnett Tech President Sharon Bartels also spoke to the graduating class of 2010, offering students words of encouragement about their post-graduation plans.

Jackson EMC Foundation awards $26,100 to Gwinnett groups

The Jackson EMC Foundation has awarded $26,100 in grants to Gwinnett County service agencies during its regular monthly board meeting. Spectrum Autism Support Group, a Suwanee parent-run non-profit that provides support, education and resources for the entire spectrum of autism disorders, awarded a $10,000 grant for its seven weekly summer day camp sessions.

Other awards went to:

• Exodus Outreach, Inc. in Buford awarded a $5,000 grant for its summer program.
  
• Project Kids Eat, an outreach program of the Campus Church of Christ in Norcross, awarded a $3,000 grant.
  
• Next Stop, a Lawrenceville grassroots program providing special needs young adults with vital social interaction, recreational and life skill learning opportunities has been awarded an $8,100 grant.

Jackson EMC members fund Foundation grants by having their monthly electric bills rounded up to the next dollar amount through the Operation Round Up program. Since October 2005 this "spare change" has funded 426 grants to organizations and 162 grants to individuals, putting more than $4.5 million back into local communities.

RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Two books about dogs

"I seem to have read several books about dogs lately. I strongly recommend two. First, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein and the second One Good Dog by Susan Wilson. Both books are written from the dog's perspective, and at least in part, as if the dog is doing the talking or narrating. Both are very warm and refreshing stories that really make one think about how pets are treated and loved or in some cases not loved! Both will move you to be a better person."

-- David Freeman, Buford

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA
Passengers on Wanderer were enslaved from Congo area

(From previous edition)

Shortly after his purchase of the Wanderer, William C. Corrie was approached by Charles A. L. Lamar of Savannah, who proposed that together they retrofit the Wanderer and convert it into a slave ship. Lamar, scion of a prominent Savannah family that included the second president of the Republic of Texas, a U.S. Supreme Court justice, and U.S. treasury secretary Howell Cobb, was a "fire-eating" radical who vehemently opposed the U.S. government's restriction on the importation of slaves. Corrie agreed to his associate's proposition.

After retrofitting in New York, in Charleston in 1858, the ship was further transformed; foodstuffs, pans, and tins were put aboard, along with sufficient Georgia pine to construct a second deck beneath the existing 114-foot main deck once the ship reached Africa. Its conversion complete, the Wanderer set sail for Africa.

Still flying the triangular pennant of the New York Yacht Club, the former luxury ship arrived at the mouth of the Congo River, in present-day Angola, on September 16, 1858. Although portions of the West African coastline were patrolled by the British navy, the Wanderer and its crew easily sailed up the Congo to areas where slaves were readily available.

It was on that river that Corrie and Lamar made contact with one Captain Snelgrave, a representative for an illegal New York slave-trading firm. After a period of negotiation, Corrie and Lamar placed an order with Snelgrave for 500 Africans, who were to be delivered to the Atlantic beaches from the barracoons, or slave warehouses, higher up on the Congo. The Americans paid for the slaves, at a rate of $50 per head, with rum, gunpowder, cutlasses, and muskets rather than with paper or gold. The entire transaction was completed in less than a month, and by mid-October the Wanderer began its return voyage to the United States.

The ship arrived at Jekyll Island (a considerably more clandestine point of entry than Savannah) on November 28, 1858. The entry point had been arranged by Henry DuBignon Jr., who owned Jekyll Island and had conspired with Corrie and Lamar from the beginning. Of the 487 Africans on board, 78 perished en route, and except for the mortality figures, little else is known about the middle passage experience. Within a matter of days Lamar and Corrie dispatched the survivors to slave markets in Savannah and Augusta, as well as to markets in South Carolina and Florida.

TODAY'S QUOTE
You've got to find your own definition of success

"All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms."

-- American Actor Harrison Ford (1942- ), via Cindy Evans, Duluth.
